I just had to make a second card for the Joan's Garden's Challenge #8, this week. I had never used my pumpkin embossing folder from Cuttlebug, and I decided to play. I used Ivory and Green Apple Pure Luxury card stock. After embossing, I set about chalking the image and then sprayed it with hair spray to seal. The tops of the pumpkins were decorated with Diamond Stickles to look like frost.
I used a small manila tag from the office supply store tied up with hemp twine. The stamp set used to decorate it is Whimsical Autumn, from Gina K. Designs. I added four pre-glittered brads and a couple of skeleton leaves as my accents. Hope you like it!
Can you tell I am thinking fall? My favorite time! Have a wonderful start to your week.

Mary Anne,
We must be connected some how! Frost on the pumpkins LOL Wait til you see mine!
Mary Anne, love this idea...very creative.
Will have to try and remember and maybe case you sometime.
This is awesome! I love how it sparkles, and yet the soft, muted tones give such a subtle effect. The sheer leaves looks fabulous with the tag sentiment! Nice job on this one!
